NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_10_8-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_10_8-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/nouveau: don't attempt to schedule hpd_work on headless cards

If the card doesn't have display hardware, hpd_work and hpd_lock are left uninitialized which causes BUG when attempting to schedule hpd_work on runtime PM resume.

Fix it by adding headless flag to DRM and skip any hpd if it's set.
